?? Was the child in a car? They have a picture of a cross walk above. What was a 19mo old child doing walking in a cross walk? Was she accompanied? Why didn’t they get hit too? Something is not right here. I guess I’ll have to wait for the rest of this story because right now it doesn’t make sense.
